You present a false argument. There is no objective data that supports a linear correlation with team success and spending excessively in free agency. In fact, I would argue that the upper echelon teams (in terms of consistency) are selective with free agency and build through solid drafting (Packers, Steelers, Ravens, Patriots, 49'ers, Giants) and teams that traditonally spend heavily in free agency have little to show for it (Redskins, Bills, Eagles)

That's probably true but our gm doesn't have any get out of jail, keep building through the draft cards left. The team has to take a big leap this year or he's gone. I am sure he is going to make some big FA signings with all that slush fund he has accumulated. Hopefully he re-signs some of our own.

When you've been paying Long 11 million a year, paying Wallace 11 a year doesnt seem so bad. If you gave me the choice between having Long or Wallace, I'm taking Wallace without a doubt. We have to get playmakers this off-season. No excuses, have to do whatever it takes to get Tannehill weapons and improve the pass defense.

The state of our wr corp is awful. I would love to have Wallace here. Bowe doesn't excite me. He is reliable but we already have that with Hartline. Pay Wallace and our offense suddenly is a strong suit.
